Childish tendencies
 
Hey guys,

So once again my inner child (not that im old, im 25) are getting the best of me. My 01 SS is sporting Pacesetter Long tubes, ORY and the stock powerflo muffler into a OEM CME.

Lately im getting bored with the way my car sounds. It sounds good, i get alot of compliments from passengers but i want more lol. Its just missing something imo.

What can i do to make it louder lol. I still want it bearable since its my DD but its just not cutting it for me. I want that deep drone, i want the pops on deceleration, I want the rasp when i go wot. I know this isnt everybodys cup of tea but its definitly mine. Im not looking to spend a ton and im looking for minimal work. My problem is the CME. anything i buy must work with whats already here since im not looking to get rid of the cme. Also, id like to go without having to weld anything. Cutouts are a thought but not really what im looking for. Im mainly thinking a different muffler perhaps? any siggestions?

sorry for the long winded post, im home sick and bored.

borla adjustable catback. im trying to get rid of mine...

TransAm619 12-12-2012 11:16 AM

How much are you asking? And this will go right in place of the muffler i already have? I was under the assumption the adj. catback needs work to work with a CME

I think a cutout would be perfect. Its everything you want and when you want quiet, you flip the switch. You really can't beat them. Sometimes the screws come loose or the wiring desoldered on the back of my motor. Very easy to repair once you understand how to take it apart and how it all works. You also keep your cme perfect :)

WSex 12-12-2012 11:28 AM

oh nevermind. i had to look up cme, but cutout would be great.

unless its like this

you would need your own tips ofcourse.

as much sense as ur post makes (which is alot) im very tempted by this borla. My dads vette had borla and it sounded perfect, my neighbors gt500 is borla too and it sounds wicked. If he posts up a decent price i may be on it but i have too many projects and family bills (****ing hurricane sandy) right now to afford anything big.

ill pm you

sweetbmxrider 12-12-2012 02:26 PM

Well a borla is pretty much the same thing, just doesn't change with a switch. No harm in running it instead :)

Dudbird113 12-12-2012 02:54 PM

My car pops with my loudmouth 2s on decel when getting off the interstate. I wouldnt get lm1s though that be too loud

WildBillyT 12-12-2012 03:48 PM

CME?

Then all of this advice is moot.

Get a custom bullet muffler or something on there.

Why cant I use the Borla but swap my cme pipes to it?

Mike 12-12-2012 04:54 PM

Borlas in-out setup would be hard to do cme

LTb1ow 12-12-2012 06:36 PM

Why ruin a CME for sound?

Toss a cutout, or hell, put two in off each header, loud, obnoxious, and slow. Winning. I guess.

TransAm619 12-12-2012 09:42 PM

I have no plans of "ruining" my cme so I'm not sure what you mean. I'm just altering for what l believe will be a better sound. It will still look exactly the same.

The_Bishop 12-13-2012 06:53 AM

Rasp and drone gets old very, very quickly.

Mike 12-13-2012 08:02 AM

I would do one of 2 things.

1. Just throw a cut out in and call it a day

2. Have an exhaust shop remove the power flow muffler and replace it with just pipes. Then add a bullet muffler somewhere in the mid pipe like a loud mouth has it.

Loudmouth sounds badass, I'm very pro lm1, pretty much everything you want for cheap.. a resonator can be had for 84$ shipped

With shorty headers or stockers, and cats sounds great.

Pretty much. Sounds like 1000 Hondas in a confined area. Raspy as hell.

OP get a cutout. The loud and droning gets really old really fast, esp if you drive on the highway.

Ugh even on an LT1 with mid lengths and ORY it was too raspy and had a constant drone throughout the car. It was fun to hear bouncing off rev limiter though :rofl:

this should work just do some research and you should be good

V 12-13-2012 11:24 PM

Do you remember my SS? That was just LTs, ORY, and Magnaflow catback and it was loud as hell. Could you just toss in a magnaflow muffler? I dont think it would be that hard to keep the CME tips.

Heres the only video I have. Keep in mind I did have a decent size cam and it wasn't tuned in the video yet. (Hence it not liking to idle at more than like 20 rpms, lmao)
